“Or who hath first given to him, and it shall be recompensed unto him again?”
"Who has ever given to God, that God should repay them?" — Job 41:11 (also Isaiah 41:11) reinforces: no one has given first to God such that God owes a debt (apodidōmi, to repay). All blessing is grace, not recompense. Creation, redemption, and consummation are God's prerogative acts.
